The Navan mid-Meath water supply scheme is included in my Department's water services investment programme 2004-06 as a scheme to commence construction in 2005. Meath County Council's preliminary report for the scheme is being examined in my Department and will be dealt with as quickly as possible. The council will be in a position to prepare contract documents once the preliminary report has been approved.

The Navan water mains replacement scheme, which will improve the quality and reliability of water supplies in the town, has been approved for construction in my Department's water services investment programme 2004-06 at an estimated cost of €4.8 million. I understand that phase 1 of the scheme is nearing completion and I have recently approved Meath County Council's contract documents for phase 2. It is now a matter for the council to proceed with the invitation of tenders for these works.
